[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby classes delete/overwrite Objective-C classes?

[Mark Rada]

Hi Robert,

Classes in ruby are open, which means that if you define it in multiple places, you get one class with things from all the definitions definitions.

However, if you define the same methods, then which ever method you define last is the one that will exist. There are also techniques for concatenating methods. 

If you want two classes with the same name two remain separate, consider using a module to create a namespace.
